Researchers have discovered a new material called chalcogenide perovskite that could revolutionize solar cells.

Google DeepMind spinoff Isomorphic Labs expects research of drugs it designed using artificial intelligence will begin this year, according to its Nobel Prize-winning chief executive officer.

Seismic imaging has revealed two colossal regions deep within Earth’s mantle that could reshape our understanding of the planet’s composition and history. These continent-sized anomalies, known as large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs), lie near the core, beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean.

LLVPs are notable for their unusual makeup and their ability to slow seismic waves, making them mysterious features of Earth’s interior.

Up until last week, physicists believed that matter is made up of only two types of particles: those whose spin has full-integer values (bosons) and those whose spin comes has half-integer values (fermions). But in a new paper, a group of researchers turned the world of physics upside down by mathematically proving that a third type of particles – the “paraparticles” are possible.

A computing chip, developed by a team from KAIST, mimics the way brain processes information and is ready for uses on various smart devices.

Astrophysicists have long been intrigued by the possibility of dark stars-massive celestial objects fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the enigmatic energy of dark matter. Thanks to images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the scientific community has perhaps also found signs of such elusive entities. Could these dark stars, which shine billions of times brighter than our sun, rewrite the story of the universe’s infancy?

Dark stars, despite the word “dark”, are hypothesized luminous sources that may have existed in the universe’s infancy. In contrast to traditional stars that work with nuclear fusion, dark stars are speculated to obtain their energy from self-annihilation of dark matter particles.

As a result, energy is released that warms the ambient hydrogen and helium, and this leads the primordial clouds to glow brightly and expand to enormous scale-some up to a million times mass of the sun. These stars may have also been born in “minihaloes”, dense pockets of dark matter in the early universe.

The rising trend of early-onset cancers in adults under 50, particularly women, is alarming. Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to this increase. Maintaining a healthy weight, quitting tobacco, avoiding alcohol, consuming fiber-rich foods, using sunscreen, and regular physical activity are small lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce cancer risk.
